Description

技術分野
[0001]
本発明は、バチルス属の細菌、特にバチルス・ズブチリスC−3102株の菌体またはその培養物を有効成分とする、血清トリグリセライド値を低下させる作用を有する脂質代謝改善剤に関する。
背景技術
[0002]
血清のトリグリセライド値の上昇は、高脂血症、動脈硬化症、虚血性心疾患(狭心症や心筋こうそく)、また糖尿病などを発症する原因でもあり、一般的に生活習慣病の指標となっている。また食後の中性脂肪の増加やその持続が、循環器系疾患に最も影響する因子であることがわかっている。
[0003]
一般に高脂血症の治療には、薬物療法と脂質摂取量を制限した食事療法が行われる。薬物療法には、コレステロール合成経路の3−ヒドロキシ−3−メチルグルタリル補酵素A(HMG−CoA)よりメバロン酸への合成を阻害することによりコレステロール生合成を阻害するHMG−CoAリダクターゼ阻害剤胆汁酸吸着剤(陰イオン交換樹脂)などの薬物が用いられている。
[0004]
しかしながらHMG−CoAリダクターゼ阻害剤は、過敏症や肝機能異常、横紋筋融解症等の副作用を有する。またコレスチラミンなどの陰イオン交換樹脂を用いると、陰イオン交換樹脂が消化管内でコレステロールを多く含む胆汁酸を吸着してその腸肝循環を遮断し、コレステロールを体外に排泄させるが、投与量が多く飲みにくくかつ便秘や消化管症状を引き起こす等の問題がある。また、食事療法は食事制限による精神的苦痛を伴うので、長期間にわたって継続的に実施することは困難である。
[0005]
したがって副作用が無く継続的に摂取しやすい、血清トリグリセライド低下作用を有する薬剤ならびに食品が求められている。

本発明の脂質代謝改善剤は、ヒトが摂食することにより血清トリグリセライド濃度を低下させることができ、動脈硬化症の予防・改善剤として有用である。Technical field [0001]
The present invention relates to a lipid metabolism-improving agent having an action of lowering serum triglyceride level, comprising as an active ingredient a bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus, particularly a cell of Bacillus subtilis strain C-3102 or a culture thereof.
Background art [0002]
An increase in serum triglyceride levels is also a cause of developing hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, ischemic heart disease (angina and myocardial infarction), and diabetes, and is generally an indicator of lifestyle-related diseases ing. In addition, it has been found that the increase and persistence of neutral fat after meals are the most influential factors for cardiovascular diseases.
[0003]
In general, for treatment of hyperlipidemia, drug therapy and diet therapy with limited lipid intake are performed. For drug therapy, an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor that inhibits cholesterol biosynthesis by inhibiting synthesis of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) to mevalonic acid in the cholesterol synthesis pathway , Drugs such as bile acid adsorbents (anion exchange resins) are used.
[0004]
However, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors have side effects such as hypersensitivity, liver function abnormality, and rhabdomyolysis. In addition, when an anion exchange resin such as cholestyramine is used, the anion exchange resin adsorbs bile acids containing a large amount of cholesterol in the digestive tract, blocks its enterohepatic circulation, and excretes cholesterol outside the body. It is difficult to drink and causes problems such as constipation and gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition, dietary therapy is accompanied by mental distress due to dietary restrictions, so it is difficult to continue for a long time.
[0005]
Accordingly, there is a need for drugs and foods that have an effect of lowering serum triglycerides, which have no side effects and are easily taken continuously.

The subjects took 1 tablet 500 mg (tablet of Bacillus subtilis C-3102 soybean culture containing 3 × 10 9 spores) orally once daily after breakfast for 4 weeks. Feeding before the start, eating after one week, after two weeks, three weeks later, after 4 weeks, fasting (of the night 9:00 later of the day before eating and drinking ban, it was a punctual blood collection time in the morning) and bled, Serum triglyceride values were measured. The test schedule is shown in Table 3.
[0026]
[Table 3]
Figure 0005113057
[0027]
The results of the above test are shown in FIG. Changes in serum triglyceride were 103.6 ± 42.82 mg / dl at the start of ingestion, 69.8 ± 32.00 mg / dl after 1 week of ingestion, 63.0 ± 24.58 mg / dl after 2 weeks of ingestion, 77.0 ± 35.63 mg / dl after 3 weeks of ingestion, ingestion After 4 weeks, the dose was 71.8 ± 37.26 mg / dl. As a result of repeated one-way analysis of variance based on the intake period, a significant difference (p <0.01) was observed. As a result of multiple comparisons (Tukey-Kraner test), the results were as follows: between the start of intake and 1 week after intake (p <0.05), between the start of intake and 2 weeks after intake (p <0.05), at the start of intake and 4 weeks after intake There was a significant difference between later (p <0.05). From the above results, it was revealed that the soybean culture of Bacillus subtilis strain C-3102 has an effect of lowering serum triglyceride.
[Industrial applicability]
[0028]
The lipid metabolism-improving agent of the present invention can lower serum triglyceride concentration by human consumption, and is useful as a prophylactic / ameliorating agent for arteriosclerosis.
